Stenhousemuir 0 Forfar Athletic 3

The ‘Loons’ confirmed their play-off place with an excellent 3-0 win over the ‘Warriors’ at Ochilview yesterday afternoon, their first away win since late January.

The comprehensive victory also saw the Athies leapfrog Raith Rovers into second place, although of course, the Kirkcaldy outfit are in action later today at Gayfield.

Forfar were in complete control of the game yesterday from the off and the only surprise was the fact that it took until the 24th minute to break the deadlock Dale Hilson finishing off an excellent move with a left-foot strike into the net.

Adam Eckersley made it 2-0 three minutes later with a crisp strike from the edge of the box, John Baird completing the scoring just after the hour mark from the penalty spot after Hilson had been brought down by Marsh just inside the area.

Late in the contest former ‘Loon’ Andy Munro was shown a straight red card after some harsh words to referee Gavin Ross.

Another big game is now on the horizon with play-off chasing Montrose due at Station Park on Saturday first.

The ‘Gable Endies’ are on a great run at present and need only one point from their last two games to seal the fourth spot in the table.

Back to the Stenhousemuir match and it was indeed a real ‘team’ effort. On the park, all the players in sky blue shirts played their part, while they were backed on the terracing by a large and vociferous travelling support.
